Rogue Trader Warning: Rogue traders operating in Halton
Halton Trading Standards wants to make residents aware of cold calling workmen who are operating in the area. Unfortunately, we have had reports of an elderly gentleman being charged £400 for weeding the garden.
Residents should be wary of any trader’s cold calling at their door or making unsolicited phone calls. Under the current lockdown measures, it is perfectly acceptable not to answer the door to cold callers who are after work.

If you or somebody you know has been caught out by a scam or fraud please contact one of our specialist officers, Linda or Sue on 0151 511 8785 or 0151 511 8775, who are already working with people in Halton who have lost thousands of pounds to scams.
If you need advice on anything else please contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline or 0808 223 1133
